Okay, you're on a cruise, whether it's your first or three hundred and first. Where would someone most likely find you? Stretched in a lounge chair reading? In the casino? At the piano bar? What do you most like to do when you're not really doing anything?

If it's a Cruisemate cruise, many times we can be found at the communal gathering spot chosen....You know you can always find someone to kibbutz with, or, have lunch with. Love a bunch of us chillin ...good talk,and laughs.

The two of us..by the pool...me, with a good book,and hubby with music in his ears.

Early mornings, breakfast on the balcony (if blessed with one) then wandering about the ship, if there is "nice coffee" we have one. Don't usually do lunch as such, may graze a bit. Never been to a lecture not found one to interest me, don't use the pools...too crowded, may search for a sunbed in/near the sunny places. Early PM we try to be good & use the gym (on P&O Arcadia we then use the hydrotherapy pool) late sitting dinner then see the show or do the quiz, wander about a bit maybe a hot chocolate (+ large brandy!)then bed.

so much depends upon what mood we are in, if we want to be where all the action and goings are you will find us at the main pool, if we want someplace quieter we will head for the adults only, rear or sancutary pool area, or spending time just wandering around getting to know the ship

Mornings...work out...breakfast and wonder around the ship.
Afternoons...solarium with a book
Evening...checking out the shows, roaming the ship again..or watching the sunset on my balcony.
the DH at the sky bar...lol

Let's put it this way- I can't WAIT to find out! I think it might go like this:

Wake early
wander the decks and look out over the railings and sigh with bliss
walk a couple of miles on the track or go to the gym and treadmill it
take a zillion pictures
find a good breakfast (hopefully healthy-ish)
check out a few activities- trivia, etc.
snack
Mama drink
Lounge chair with umbrella and book or music
swim
lunch
nap
activities/explore ship
swim
supper
shows
club/bar hop til the wee hours
snack
bed

Green RD I like your style- I'm so the piano bar/karaoke type too! I expect that will be on the top of my list.

First thing in the morning, in the gym or at tai chi if they have it.
Then breakfast.
Then needleworkers group or jigsaw puzzle or game of about any sort except bingo; trivia if it's offered. Pick up and do the Sudoku somewhere in there.
Pool time.
Lunch, lightly.
More games/trivia/puzzle/possible lecture or demonstration.
Tea.
Walk around the ship a few times.
More knitting/puzzle/possible other, depending on what schedule offers.
Change, and go to dinner.
Showtime.
Dance bar if I have a partner, piano bar if I don't.
11 p.m. is ice cream time.
Late-night lounge until I'm ready for bed.

I would get up at 6am to grab a table by the pool in the shade coffee,smoke(sence quit), and a good book.Hubby and kids breakfast when they get up. boys off to the camps then some people watching in a good way lunch off to room early dinner off to the show maybe a couple drinks and the whole chattin with who ever will chat.

I spend a LOT of time just walking around and looking at the ship. I like to see what is going on in different rooms - look at menues, etc.

I really like a ship with movies during the day - that is a big plus for me.

I do like to gamble - but most cruise ship casinos don't pay off well enough to even keep me amused for more than about 10 minutes. I think the cruise lines would do very well to make their slots pay better. There are a LOT of people like me who would stay in the casinio much longer (until I lost more than I should) than with the usual scenario where I walk in, put $20 in a machine, lose it all and never, ever go back.

I do like to use thermal suites on ships - jacuzzi, steam room, etc.

And I have been known to visit the buffet a few times.

I will also go to the library - especially if we are in an area where I want to see something interesting in port.

When you say you like to see what is going on in different rooms, I'm guessing you mean areas that have public access and NOT staterooms
